Just wondering how easy enclosures that are 6f highx 4f width x 2f deep are easy to come by?
if they arent to easy, might have to build my own, or whats a type of furniture that can be converted thats around this size? its for 2 coastals, in no rush but for the future, and if have to build, need to plan

You could prob build your own easy enough out of melamine, but if not theres always people on this site that sell enclosures if you asked them maybe they could make you one big enough.

Go to the wiki on this site, hints and tips.
Excellent article and instructions on how to build enclosure.
I've built two and have two left hands.

Exile.... I have a 6ft high by 4 ft wide by 2 ft deep enclosure ... Made out of Melamine... Split into 2 enclosures... And it is Damn Heavy!!!! ....
It can be done...But your best bet would be to probably get a wardrobe and paint the iside to seal it.....
Or... Make two separate enclosures... And make a joining hole for them to move between the two..... Will make it easier to get different temperatures, move, feed (to separate for feeding) and clean(lock snakes in one half while cleaning the other)...
Hope it works out for you....

Hey exile
Go to Lifeline in Jacaranda Street and buy a 2nd hand wooden wardrobe, convert that to a snake enclosure
I have seen some very good enclosures made this way and very cost effective

Hey Exile182, we can make you an enclosure that size for around the $700 mark, give or take depending how you wanted it. That is made out of ply, not melamine.
We're in Ipswich so if you wanna catch up sometime and have a chat about it or if you have any questions, shoot me a PM.
